दिव्ये वर्षशते पूर्णे श्रान्तोऽहं नृपसत्तम । ध्यातुं समारभं देवं महदर्णवतारणम्
divye varṣaśate pūrṇe śrānto'haṃ nṛpasattama | dhyātuṃ samārabhaṃ devaṃ mahadarṇavatāraṇam
Khi trọn một trăm năm thiêng liêng đã qua, hỡi bậc vương tối thượng, ta đã kiệt sức; bấy giờ ta bắt đầu thiền niệm về Thượng Đế, Đấng Cứu Độ đưa người vượt qua đại dương bao la.
